However, the voicing by the shape you've suggested is really what makes for a nice jazzy unique feel without stepping out of the pocket!!

Thanks!

Its very common to drop the 5 in a chord voicing, it doesn't add much to the harmony(and the bass player is probably going to supply it anyway). Given the overall sound of the riff I'd still call it an E6, rather than ist inversion C#m, but thats really just academic.

It's always adds to the jam when you know what the bassist is doing and can drop 1s or 5s along the way.
